Bungie has announced an indefinite delay for its live-service extraction shooter Marathon, citing the community’s „passionate“ feedback following its reveal in April and a subsequent playtest.
Bungie formally unveiled its Marathon reboot in May 2023, but the response wasn’t an immediately enthusiastic one, given the decision to ditch the classic Marathon series‘ single-player focus in favour of PvP – and the reboot has largely remained in the news for all the wrong reasons since then. It’s faced leadership changes and substantial legal challenges, it’s seen ongoing reports of declining staff morale and accusations of toxicity aimed at Bungie management, it’s been embroiled in a plagiarism scandal, and more.
April’s big reveal, then, was a chance for Bungie to shift the narrative to something more positive.
